Cabe Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I know the pain of losing a child. When I lost my son I had the support of one of the most wonderful women I've ever known, who had also known the heartbreak of losing a son, my grandmother. There are so many other parents out there who know your pain. May the love and comfort of family, friends, and loved ones ease your pain during this holiday season. You are not alone.

DALLASGIRL0618 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 My aunt had 4 boys. One of her son's died of a long sickness, and died in her arms, a week before he turned 30. It took her forever to recover a little from that loss, and then her youngest committed suicide at the age of 24. I was so angry at him, because he watched her when she lost his brother, and then he purposely chose to put her through that again. That was 9 yrs ago this week. Back in 1996, the day before Thanksgiving, my dad died suddenly. The following year, almost to the day, my grandmother passed in her sleep with no warning (this was my Aunt's mother). The following year, my cousin committed suicide the week of Thanksgiving. More tragedies followed our family for 8 yrs straight. Every Thanksgiving was shared with the funeral of a family member. It has now been 3 years with no deaths, but we sure do feel the emptiness of the ones who did pass, and this time of year is extremely hard on my family. I almost did not come to be with my family this year because of financial reasons, but I changed my mind. I think my family needed me to be here, and you never know when it will be last one with some family members. I am enjoying myself here in Myrtle Beach with my mother, brother, and sister and our families. Tomorrow we will load up and go to Durham N.C. and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with my dad's sister, and some other Aunt's, Uncles, cousines, and there families. We will go from house to house visiting everyone for a little while, and head back to Georgia on Saturday morning. I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving day.

You all are a testament to strength and courage, though some days you may not feel like you are, I know you are. I will continue to pray for you all. Dear mothers, may I ask something from you? Please, please I ask of you, pray for "Kim," who lost her 16 month old tragically less than a month ago.

WWMOM, I have also lost a child. My daughter was shot and killed two years ago. You are so right...you never "get over it". She still consumes far more of my thoughts than most people would ever imagine just sitting around talking to me. I have really just started dealing with my anger the past six months. I think I was in shock most of the first year and then depression for about six months. I know my soul will never be the same--I can look normal on the outside, but inside is like shattered glass. And it's all perfectly normal. How you feel now is perfectly normal. I saw where someone made the comment that Sheriff Harris should be "over" losing his daughter after two years. I can only assume the person who wrote that has never lost a child, and maybe has not had any children. God bless Link to post Share on other sites

Catch22 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I REMEMBER WATCHING ON THE NEWS IN THE 80'S ( I THINK), ALL THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS HAD CLOSED DOWN DUE TO SNOW & ICE, *EXCEPT* FOR CLAYTON COUNTY. THIS ONE YOUNG MAN TOOK HIS 3 YOUNGER BROTHERS TO SCHOOL, BEFORE HE WENT TO SCHOOL HIMSELF. AS HE DID ANY OTHER DAY. SOMETHING HAPPENED ON THIS ICY DAY, HE HAD AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT AND ALL 4 BROTHERS DIED, THIS POOR SINGLE MOTHER PROBABLY LOST IT. I DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT HER BUT, BEFORE ALL THIS HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS/MONTHS BEOFRE THEY LOST EVERYTHING IN A HOUSE FIRE. I REALLY WISH I COULD FIND OUT HOW SHE IS DOING, I DIDN'T KNOW HER BUT, I THINK ABOUT HER QUITE OFTEN. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT MOTHERS AND FATHERS GO THROUGH BUT, PRAYERS ARE SENT OUT TO ALL WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD. Link to post Share on other sites
TnT Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 The loss of my son is the hardest thing that I deal with each and every day. December 23 will be 4 years and most days it still seems as if it was just yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites
StrawberryPie Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I couldnt imagine the pain of losing a child.It would be horrible! I did loose my grandmother around this time last yr and she practically raised me and lost my dad when i was a teenager.I still havent gotten over either one,i even thought i was bad luck or God was punishing me.I lost 3 boyfriends in highschool! It sucks that people have to pass on,i wish we could be here forever.But,thats not how things work.God needs us for bigger and better things. I dont know why but we will all know one day.The only thing i can think is these people in our life must have been very special to us and God because he chose them. It will always hurt that is natural and its ok to cry.I still cry like it was yesterday.Whatever makes you feel better.I always felt i didnt get to tell them things and how i felt.I felt like i was ripped off.My friend said you should write a letter.Tell them everything you wanted to say no matter how silly or stupid or what.Ask questions and tell them things you always wanted them to know.Then read it to them and maybe bury it by them or tear it up or save it to look back on.It helped me a lot it hurts bad especially during the holidays,you feel that empty feeling and this is the time that most people get depressed.So,if you ever need to talk you can email me on here and i can give you my number if you need to call me anytime. Just pray for peace and know that there are other people around you who love you very much and they understand.Dont be afraid to share your feelings.Get it all out. Get a journal and start writing everyday.Write a good thing that happened today was.... and just keep it close by.Then when you feel bad go back and read it! My prayers are with you and i hope you had a great thanksgiving and A very Merry christmas and a Happy new year where you are very blessed! ******HUGS***************** Link to post Share on other sites

fessy01 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I thank the good lord for every precious day that I get with my girls. My uncle died 12 years ago last month and I cannot remember anything ever being so hard on my whole family, but mostly my grandma. It has really made her a different woman. My heart and deepest sympathy goes out to any of you who has lost a child, I could only hope that I would be as strong as you are! Link to post Share on other sites
tess Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 My daughter has been dead 26 years ...I never got to know her as she only lived 30 minutes..My husband had to bury her as I was still in the hospital,,,the first Christmas was hard..every time I saw a tiny red dress I would cry and think she should have one...she only got 1 dress & my husband picked it out without me...It does get easier but it still hurts...I thank God that it was not my daughter that was 8 because she was so much a part of my life & I don't know how I would have handled that..Jessica was a dream as I never held her & never really got to know her...I loved her but the bond that you have with your child grows stronger each day...My other daughter is 34 & a wonderful person...The thing I am most thankful for is I did not have to make a decision to put her on or off life support ...God made that decision for me....I will pray for you that are hurting...I will pray for peace for your hearts...

sapphire0828 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 My name is Lisa and I lost my son, Joshua Brown, on January 11, 2007. It happened very suddenly and unexpectedly. This has been the roughest year of my life and this time of year is absolutely killing me. The grief and pain have been almost unbearable. If not for the grace of God and my family and friends, there's no telling where I would be. It doesn't seem fair that any parent should have to live through their children passing before them; but I believe God has a plan for everyone. I just haven't found the reason for the loss of my precious son. I can relate to any parent who has lost a child. If anyone wants to contact me personally, my e-mail address is sapphire0828@comcast.net.

She still consumes far more of my thoughts than most people would ever imagine just sitting around talking to me. I have really just started dealing with my anger the past six months. I think I was in shock most of the first year and then depression for about six months. I know my soul will never be the same--I can look normal on the outside, but inside is like shattered glass.

I can only assume the person who wrote that has never lost a child, and maybe has not had any children. God bless I feel like you BW. Also, I didn't see where some idiot wrote that about Sheriff Harris - the writer was a total dumba$$. You NEVER get over it. It changes you forever. I heard that someone very close to me made a comment in May on my birthday. My wonderful family gave me a big birthday party and I actually laughed. This person said, "Look at her laughing." It had been 7 months since I had lost my Son. I remember thinking at that party, how nice it was to be able to laugh. I think it was the first time. The person who made that hurtful comment had no idea how I feel inside. How it's with me constantly, just below the surface. I'm sorry for your pain WWMOM and for the pain of all on here who are "members" of this horrible "club." It just isn't right for your child to go before you. Link to post Share on other sites

The first birthday, Christmas, etc after losing a loved one is so painful. People say it gets easier after the first year-I don't know about that. Maybe you just kind of know what to expect. Just be easy on yourself. All the emotions are okay. We haven't put up a Christmas tree this year. Don't think that we will. It's not any kind of statement. I only have so much emotional energy and it's just not that important to us. (My youngest is 16.) Sending love and hugs your way. Link to post Share on other sites

Seashell, laugh any time you feel like it. My emotions have been all over the place, but I probably laugh just as much as I ever did. I get up most days determined to live it to the fullest. My daughter lived that way, so in my way, I honor her spirit. I had a client tell me today that I look more like my daughter than I used to.......good! I didn't even begin to deal with my anger--I didn't even realize that I was angry for over a year after her death. Some days I am downright irreverent--kind of like Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump. You know the scene where he is on the boat during the storm daring God to kill him. It's like I can't possibly hurt any worse so hit me with your best shot. Some days... As far as others, I try to remember that a few years ago, I couldn't have imagined this depth of pain. I can't really expect someone who hasn't walked this path to know. They can think what they want....just stay outta my way on "some days". Link to post Share on other sites
MillCreek Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yesterday (Thursday), I had the priviledge of meeting Robert Pauley.... As some people may remember, this past summer, his daughter, Tiffany Pauley, a precious little angel with Down's, was fatally attacked by a dog in Carrollton. A wonderful friend of mine, Donna Leonard Garrison, who does oil portraits (EverlastingPortraits.com) was so deeply moved by the innocense of Tiffany, did a portrait of her, as a token of love and appreciation for a child, from the community. We presented to Robert and his family yesterday afternoon... Robert and his wife (Tiffany's step mother) were very much overwhelmed -- all of us "choked" and there wasn't a dry eye...... Tiffany is most definitely a precious little angel... Link to post Share on other sites
ShayShay Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well, we made it through. I still miss Scotty very much. God's Grace is wonderful. We went away to the mountains again for Christmas. It just seems to help going away. This was our 2nd Christmas without him. Still didn't put up a tree. Just wanted to go away. Hope all of you are doing as good as you can. Think of you all often. Please continue to pray for us. March 13th will be 2 years...it still just don't seem real.
